• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: 2942 it as our main agenda everywhere. If we leaders were serious about creating peace; if all leaders were serious about demolishing the things that threaten peace, starting with ethnic divisions that are witnessed even in this House--- In any forum you see leaders in this country, you can actually see ethnic divisions, including in this House. If we are serious about creating peace, let us start tackling these things. Very few of us have been to some corners of this country and I keep wondering how we can talk about reconciliation in Nairobi when we have never been to ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I support the AMANI Forum. I support peace in Kenya, in the region, in Africa and the world at large. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Since Kimende Town was there when the road was being constructed, I take it that it was an error in design and planning. Could the Assistant Minister confirm when they are going to correct the error? When are they going to construct this particular foot bridge? view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The CDF is a big public fund. Has the Minister considered involving banks by negotiating with them so that when we open accounts, they should not be charged ledger fees like normal accounts? That way, most of the money will go to public use. view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Minister has not understood my question. The banks will listen to the Minister if he calls and tells them that this is the money that he has. This is because it makes business sense. However, if a particular committee that handles Kshs10 million approaches the banks, it may not be offered the same rebate that could be offered to the Minister. view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member has just stated that people were moved from Central Province and settled in Rift Valley Province. The people who moved from Central Province and settled in Rift Valley Province bought land as citizens of this country. Is it in order for the hon. Member to mislead the House? view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is time, in this country, that we shed our ethnic beliefs and interests and talked about Kenya. view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: The Motion before us is not only on Mau Forest, but it has to do with the survival of this country. Truly, the Mau Forest is an important water tower. There are nearly ten million people who are surviving on rivers emanating from Mau Forest. Equally, rivers from Mt. Kenya and the Aberdare ranges feed many people. Are we going to jeopardise the lives of nearly ten million people who are fed by rivers from Mau Forest and Mt. Kenya, for the sake of maintaining a few people in a certain area? view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, truly a title deed is a document given by the Government. The Government must actually guarantee and protect it. Nobody says these people should be evicted by force as it happened 20 years ago around Mt. Kenya. People who were actually conserving the forest were brutally evicted in 1989. Their houses were burnt down. As I speak now, some of them are still living by the road side. They have been there for the last 20 years. I do not want that to happen to anybody in Kenya. Be it in Mau Forest or Aberdares ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, truly, I am not just speaking about Mau Forest. When I talked about anybody seeking votes, it is purely a natural view
